Communities have been self-organizing on the Internet long before there was a Web layered upon it. The way in which we interact with one another online changes incrementally on an annual basis, and with brand becoming increasingly decentralized, it's important to discuss these trends before they get too far ahead of us. The best community tools can't be built, and Chris Pirillo aims to lead a discussion in the future of these Internet communities.

1. Community
is already there, inside everyone.

2. Community
isn’t about a company - it’s about a culture.

3. Community
is becoming increasingly distributed.

4. Community
requires tools that can’t be built.

5. Community
is a commodity, but people aren’t.

6. Community
cannot be controlled, only guided.

7. Community
is no longer defined by physical boundaries.

8. Community
grows its own leaders.

9. Community
is the antithesis of ego.

10. Community
is everywhere, inside you.
